Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Tetairoa McMillan

Thursday, November 20, 11:38 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught eight of his 10 targets for 110 yards during Thursday's Week 12 loss against the Houston Texans. He also lost a fumble. Shakir padded his stats with a pair of impressive plays in the fourth quarter. The first was a 44-yard catch-and-run that turned a third-and-long into a first down. The second was a nifty lateral from Joshua Palmer to Shakir that converted a 4th-and-27. Despite the loss, Shakir's big game against a strong Texans secondary was very impressive, and it should vault him into the low-end WR2 tier for Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday in the team's first practice of the week, according to the team's official website. McMillan is dealing with a minor ankle injury that shouldn't impact his availability for a Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The 22-year-old pass-catcher out of Arizona has immediately become Carolina's top receiver and has impressed in his first 11 games, catching 54 of his 89 targets for 748 yards and four touchdowns. McMillan set season highs across the board in catches (eight), targets (12), and receiving yards (130) while also scoring twice in the overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. A second straight monster performance could be in store for McMillan against a 49ers defense that is banged up. McMillan has clear WR1 upside in fantasy this week.
